What about the Yamaha R-N1000A network machine (called a receiver but actually it functions as an integrated) ? List is $1799 but deals are out there in the $1500 range.

Shag ---- NICE setup you have there !

I have the CX-A5000 and the MX-A5000 - different beasts but definitely Yamaha high end quality. I highly recommend these components because of the quality of the sound and the build quality.

I PMed you. Thanks ...

Try Money by Pink Floyd with the ESS AMYs --- unreal - stunning - spectacular ...

I have 5 Cornwall 1s circa 1982 - and the following sources - turntable, CD, AM-FM tuner and possibly a Blu Ray disc machine plus external DAC. I also plan to look at adding a new Klipsch horn loaded subwoofer after they become available. I am looking for guidance on which preamps / AVRs would properly drive the Topping or FOSI amps and where I could find a guide to help me with configuring my new system with the Topping or Fosi amp additions. I currently do not use streaming services for audio --- I have a fairly large vinyl and CD collection. Also today I am using a modded Hafler DH-200 amp with a Adcom preamp and Sony tuner on my two channel setup with a Kenwood KD500 concrete resin base TT with a Formula IV tonearm and a Sonus Red cartridge (also a Audio Technics VM95 micro line cartridge) with a Sony ES CD player. My other system includes Technics SA receiver and CD- DVD player, Harmon Kardon amp and Velodyne subwoofer. I'd like to add the new amps to both systems. Oh the DAC I use is the SCHITT Modius... Any help is appreciated ....

People can decide on the risks and make decisions based on their judgment. It is being reported that 100s of illegal migrants that have tested positive for COVID-19 are being released into the USA because this administration has changed the border immigration rules regarding catch and release. Border Security cannot even track these people for contact tracing after their release. What will be the impact of these COVID-19 positive people being released into Texas and all areas along the southern border?

Mary had it all --- looks, voice, class and a great grounded personality. Apparently she passed suddenly and unexpectedly.

The Klipsch website says that the turntable is currently sold out - will the turntable be available soon, and if yes, when and how much for the unit with the Red cartridge?

I sent the OP a PM. Thanks.

Sending a PM ...Thanks...

Gary - I sent you a private PM concerning your thoughts about my current TT setup. Sorry for the temp.hijack - back to the thread!

My Sony KV34XBR960 CRT has finally met it's match! Up to this point, my XBR 34" CRT has only been bested by HD TVs costing many times more $$$. The Pioneer Elite Kuros HD TVs are quite good too. I'm waiting for these OLEDs though, as I've followed the R + D, and this technology holds the promise of beating the old CRT tube technology (which I have a preference for --- given the black levels / contrast ratio in the best CRTs). The inconvenience of having a 200+ lbs. CRT is done away with the OLED's ability to do black levels / contrast ratios unseen by plasma or LCD. A 34 - 40" OLED would probably cost $20,000 in today's world but hopefully that price will go down as production ramps up.

Another vote for the concrete resin base, direct drive - Kenwood KD500. I have one with a low mass English Mayware tonearm with a Sonus Blue cartridge. Sound is excellent, and these can be located for cheap $$$.
